Mandala

Real-time software (Processing)
2017 +ongoing

 

 

 

In various cultures around the world, mandalas are used for focus, meditation, spiritual inquiry and to establish a sacred space. They’re also just really pretty.

 

 

Mandala is a wildflower for the algorithmic age.

The custom software relies heavily on random chance to digitally paint its own “non/sacred geometries”.

 

 

Every 15 seconds, the system captures an image of itself, memorializing the moment as a new mandala, unique from all others.

 

 

Each Mandala is digitally printed in a single edition, “1 of 1”.

If a person should feel drawn to a particular mandala, they can purchase and own it, knowings it’s truly one of a kind.
